Changing this to a FAQs for those that need some help getting these deals.


When I order online it shows X price for in store, but changes to Y price at checkout, what gives?
You can only do in store pickup for the clearance price if the item is available for pick up that day. If it isn't the price will be the online price instead. Sometimes the item will be shipped to that store if it is no longer at that store. It may adjust to the clearance price at pickup but it could also charge you full price for it.

Can I buy the item at one store and return / rebuy at another?
Yes but it is up to the stores discretion to allow you to get it for that stores in store price. If it is an online order, they are supposed to return it to the warehouse it came from so you will not be able to buy it back. It's YMMV on employees following this rule though.

Can I price match a Walmart clearance item at X store?
No. No store, including Walmart, PMs clearance prices. YMMV on getting PMs for these items but it is against every stores policy to do so.

I want to price match this clearance item at another Walmart, will they allow me to?
No WM (or any retailer) PMs the prices of other local stores.

BS said X of an item is in stock, but the employee said it isn't at my store, why did they lie to me?
They didn't. Sometimes items are misplaced, stolen, or the count is off. Employees are not all over the massive stock room nor do they know where every item is. Don't harass an employee or come on here saying they are keeping it for themselves. Sometimes, an item truly isn't in the store.

Why is BS always wrong?
BS is not wrong. Their information is directly from WM systems. Just like all stores, inventory and prices may be wrong for a certain store. Do not rely only on BS.

How do I find clearance items?
Go to the store and scan items, check SD, check this thread. Actually look for something you want.

Where in the store are clearance games located?

Clearance items in general can be on shelves, in dedicated clearance sections or in the stock room. For games specifically, they will be in the videogame glass cases, videogame value game isle or dedicated clearance section. It's random and depends on that stores layout / management.

What is the SKU or item number of this item?
Look it up yourself. There is a search function on this site, on BS site and you can Google the item almost 100% of the time. No one needs to spoon feed you this information and we shouldn't have 20 people asking for the same information that was already posted.


Acronyms to know.
WM = Walmart
PM = Price Match
TRU = Toysrus
BS = Brickseek
SD = Slickdeals

L.A. Noire was marked $10 on the shelf, luckily I had a great employee who changed the price without any problem. Also found No Man's Sky for $10, which was good enough for me. No luck finding anything else recently posted though.

He marked it up to $20 for you?
 
Very fishy stuff going on at 2 Walmarts in my area tonight. Brickseek showed 5 of the JBL speakers in stock at the first location. Of course, I show up and they're nowhere to be seen in Electronics. Had them look in the back and all the cages....nada. Am told they're "out of stock". Another WM 4 miles away showed *8* in stock, according to Brickseek. Same exact deal when I showed up....nowhere in sight. Only the Clip3 in stock. Love how these items just suddenly disappear. I made them look everywhere. I wonder how 13 items can just vanish from sight. One or two, I might understand.....oh well. I know I'm hardly the first CAG to experience the disappearing inventory issue.

When faced with this, there's really no way you can prove an employee is hoarding something for themselves, so all you can do is just shrug your shoulders and be on your way. Right? :)
Which Wal-Mart was this? If you don't mind me asking.

I totally disagree about not showing them Brickseek. It's a website with their store information, inventory, price, Walmart SKU and UPC. You're trying to get them to question their inventory and motivate them to look for you, and providing what seems like detailed and credible written information sourced from a third party can't make you fail at getting the item any more than you already are. Even if they do it to prove you wrong, you're getting a definite answer over an unknown. Same goes with speaking to managers about inventory and honoring prices. You want to know for certain.
What about the fact that Brickseek specifically says NOT to mention them to retailers?

Oh you mean the teenager working part-time that you show your phone to for 10 seconds is going to single-handedly take down the entire Brickseek website? Get real kiddo.

Wow you're not very intelligent.

No genius, they are going to find the deals themselves and buy them.

Armature hour should be your new username.

You get them to scan the barcode with their handheld, if its the old kind of handheld then you have them type it in (but dont give the last red digit). Its really not that hard, I have scored countless deals this way including $90 ipad pro, $500 75" samsung 4K TV, etc

Anyone know the limit for a return with receipt, that requires a manager override, if the price in store is cheaper than what was paid?
Returns and exchanges for MOST items is 90 days (3 months) I'm not sure about a manager override though.

Went back to Walmart today and there were different people working. The Dept Manager was there and was super nice and checked the other cases with another employee and found it. It all worked out in the end, but kind of annoying knowing the laptop was not even 20 feet away from where the guy was standing the first time  I went there and he just couldn't be bothered to look for me.

Why ask us when you can search for it on brickseek?

I'm hoping that some stores still have No Man's Sky around me tomorrow, I think that $10 or less is my price point for that game. Especially since I'm seeing things on Reddit saying that the game still has a ton of bugs, and that the Next update fixed as much as it broke.
 
H Town holdin' it down.

What it do?
Pretty near to H-Town about 20 mins from it.
Thanks guys....seems I was on a wild goose chase. Brickseek showed a coupla older PS4 games I can't find anywhere else in stock at a Houston WM but I called them up and, you guessed it....they can't find them anywhere. BS shows 4 copies in stock. Oh well....I called about 5 other WM's around the country that BS showed had it and they don't. Don't know why I bother though....WM won't ship it to me cause it's out of stock at walmart.com and (AFAIK), Walmart's won't ship from store to store for you.

Just outside of STL. What are you looking for?

EDIT: Nevermind, took me a bit to understand your last post. Seems you already contacted HOU and STL Walmarts looking for them.
Thanks. The main one I was looking for was "Divinity: Original Sin" for the PS4. Brickseek showed stores in HOU and STL had several in stock. The app confirms it when I scan the online barcode. When I called those stores, they couldn't find them. Brickseek also shows 24% of all Walmarts have the game in stock.

This is about the extent of the gaming clearance at one of my local Walmarts recently:

Only other game on clearance was FIFA 16 for $19.96
